The location is great right in old Montreal with all the hustle & bustle. A great spot to people watching the patio.
The margaritas were delicious. So delicious it deserved a second for each of us.
The guacamole was made fresh table side & it didn't disappoint. Delicious.
The tacos were also very delicious! We would definitely return the next time we're in the city.
We came on a Saturday night in the summer so reservations are definitely recommended.

Great food & great experience. Our waitress was amazing & pulled my daughter over to help her make the guacamole. Birria, fish, & chicken tacos were fantastic.

Let me just start by saying the food was stellar. Fish & Al Pastor tacos plus the tableside guacamole would have been an easy 5 stars.

But the service was awful. Just left in a corner & forgotten about entirely. We were left sitting 30 mins at the end with a cleared table & two empty glasses, just waiting for our bill (after having already requested it). Just awful, awful service. Friendly enough & willing to speak English (much appreciated), but yeesh, be prepared to blow 2+ hours on a couple of (admittedly very tasty) tacos.

Très sincèrement, WOW. & sans parler de la guacamole de Yan qui est la meilleure que j'ai pu manger de ma vie. On peut ressentir sa passion dans sa manière d'être & ça se transmet aux plats

On s'est présenté sans réservation & on a eu une place de choix sur la terrasse vers 17:30. La margarita était excellente. Ils font la meilleure guacamole en ville. Ils la font devant toi. Très frais. Le repas est complet & les portions sont suffisantes. L'endroit est très bien localisé dans le vieux port & près de tout pour marcher après. On a été très bien servis par Vanida. Très polie & courtoise. Pat & Matt la recommande. Merci!

Food was absolutely amazing. Guacamole made tableside, delicious tacos, & an awesome quesadilla. My friend & I could have shared either the tacos or the quesadilla & it would have been plenty to eat after the guacamole. The cocktails were exquisite-Mexican Mule & French 75.
I marked it down just a bit in service because the woman who took our drink order never returned & after about half an hour we got the waiter's attention to order our food. Also the atmosphere was mostly good but it's very small & kind of noisy. I would go back again in a heartbeat for the food & drink!
